Inventor: KIMURA HAJIME
IPC: G09G3/32
Filed: 2003-08-08
Abstract: In a multi-window display device, the following has been merely performed: before data for plural screens is inputted to a display, video signals themselves are subjected to signal processing, and the processed video signals are inputted to the display, whereby display is performed. Therefore, a circuit for performing signal processing, for example, an IC has a complicated structure since video signals for plural screens are stored in a memory. There is provided a pixel structure in which: signal lines for plural screens are arranged; and one of the signal lines is selected to supply a video signal to a display element. For example, in the case of performing display of two screens, there is provided a pixel structure in which: two signal lines, which are inputted with respective video signals for a first screen and a second screen, are arranged; and one of the signal lines is selected to supply a video signal from the selected signal line to a display element.

Abstract: An object is to provide a service providing method capable of curbing rise of cost. A service providing method according to the present invention is one for providing services A and B, which authenticates a user of an authentication requesting terminal in order to make service A available to the user and which determines whether service B is available to the user, in a state in which the user is authenticated about service A. When service B is determined to be available, a permission message is stored and a permission response based on the permission message for utilization of service B is transmitted to the authentication requesting terminal. Then the permission message on which a utilization request message from a service utilizing terminal is based, is verified, and, if it is in an available status, the service utilizing terminal is permitted to utilize service B. The use of the authentication result on service A obviates a need for provision of new authentication means for service B, so as to lead to reduction of cost.

distribution in a tangential direction of the record track of the focussed reading light
is optimum with respect to said first type optical record medium. It also has a
correction means (61,7,8,13) for correcting the light intensity distribution in the
tangential direction of the focussed reading light with respect to said second type
optical record medium due to a difference in the sizes of the information pits between
said first and second type optical record media when said second type optical record
medium is loaded; and a light receiving means (11) for receiving a reflection light of
the focussed reading light from the information record plane of said loaded one of said
first and second optical record media.

Abstract: A linear switch actuator for actuating a movable element within a microwave switch includes a ferromagnetic shield, a coil positioned within, and a movable armature assembly positioned within the coil. The armature assembly is coupled to the movable element and includes a ferromagnetic rod and first and second permanent magnets. The permanent magnets are coupled on either end of the rod and have opposite pole orientations. The armature assembly moves between first and second stroke end positions. When one of the permanent magnets is positioned substantially outside the shield, the magnetic permeance of the armature assembly is maximized, and the armature assembly experiences bi-stable latching between the two stroke end positions. When the coil is energized, the armature assembly moves between these positions due to magnetic interaction between the energized coil and the field associated with the permanent magnets and the solenoid magnetic field associated with the coil which reduces the magnetic permeance associated with said armature assembly.

Abstract: A method of visually measuring the brightness of ambient lighting around a display device is disclosed. In this method, first, a reference brightness of the display device is determined depending on a type of display device. Thereafter, information about places where the display device can be used is received from the user, and illuminance values of the display device corresponding to brightness stages are set based on the reference brightness and the place information. Then, the brightness of a reference image is converted into each of the illuminance values corresponding to each of the brightness stages. The converted images with the illumination values corresponding to the brightness stages are displayed to the user, and an image that has a brightness value the most approximate to the brightness of ambient lighting is selected, and the brightness value of the selected image is determined as the brightness of ambient lighting.

Abstract: A multi-function display controller that includes a source detector unit (114) for determining if the source of an input stream is either film originated or video originated. A source converter unit (110) for converting the input image stream to a common signal processing format is coupled to the source detector unit. Once converted to the common signal processing format, a determination is made if the input image stream is interlaced or non-interlaced (progressive scan). If the input image stream is interlaced, a de-interlace unit (118) converts the interlaced signal to progressive scan using either motion adaptive or motion compensated de-interlacing techniques. It should be noted that in the described embodiment, motion vectors generated for use by the motion compensated de-interlace can be optionally stored in a memory unit for use in subsequent operations, such as motion compensated frame rate conversion or noise reduction (if any).
